Report Outline

Answers the question, “How far have cloud services come?”

Since Amazon launched AWS in 2006, spending on cloud services has reached tens of billions of dollars, with each dollar displacing an investment in on-premise IT equipment. To determine how far cloud services have come, IT Brand Pulse launched a surveyresearch program to continuously measure IT pro perceptions of comparable offerings from on-premise providers vs. cloud service providers.

Measures perceptions of the people that matter most: IT Pros

IT Pros are the people that implement on-premise infrastructure and out-source cloud services making their responses the perceptions that matter most. The data in this report measures the opinions of IT Pros from around the world who voted for: 1) the best among cloud service providers, and 2) the best-of-the best among on-premise vs. cloud service providers grouped together.

Covers seven products in six brand leader categories in an annual survey

IT Professionals were asked who they perceived as Market, Price, Performance, Reliability, Service and Support, and Innovation Leader for Cloud Backup & Archive as a Service, Cloud Dedicated Enterprise Servers, Cloud Enterprise Class Storage, Cloud SSD Storage, Cloud Virtual Desktops, Cloud Virtual Servers and Cloud Unified Communications, in surveys that will be conducted annually for these particular product categories.
